Herman Wayne is happily taken and irrevocably smitten. He and his wife live a quiet, rewarding life surrounded by their children, grandchildren, and extended family—a circle of love that often finds its way into his lines. His hobbies include being outside, writing poetry, and finding creative ways to make people laugh… even if only a little.
Long before Notes To Her became a book, it was simply a steady stream of notes, scribbles, and poems Herman wrote for his wife.
At the kitchen table, on lunch breaks, and in the slow moments of daily life, he tried—again and again—to put into words just how grateful he was for the woman by his side. Those private expressions became a record of something rare: a marriage marked by deep faith, honest affection, and the stubborn joy of doing life together in every season.
Herman’s writing is intentionally simple and sincere. He isn’t trying to impress critics; he’s trying to bless someone’s heart. With a blend of humor, devotion, and quiet reverence for God’s goodness, his poems honor the beauty of long-term commitment and the grace that makes it possible.
When he’s not writing, you can usually find Herman outdoors, sharing a joke, or—his favorite—sitting next to his wife, grateful for one more ordinary, extraordinary day.
